“THE EVENING WORLD, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1921.” CHARLIE ALMOST Throws Flowers to’ Crowd Outside His London Hote! and Police Have to Stop .| Him to Save Lives, By Charlie Chaplin. Weprright. 192: ‘The McClure Newspaper Syo- dieata, “a Mahe Hosea) a (The is the eleventh instalment @f Charlie Chaplin’s own story of Ma European trip. In the last in- atalment he described his reception im London and his triumphal prog- ress under the escort of crowds to Bis hotel.) HE crowds are much denser here, [am at a loss. I don't know what to do, what to say, I stand up. 1 wave and bow at them, smile at them and go through the motions of shaking hands, using my own hands. Should I say some- thing? ‘The crowd comes to a hush. It tm attentive; they see I am about to @ay something. I+am surprised at my own voice. I can hear it, It 1s quite clear and: distinct, saying something about its being a great moment, &c. But tame and stupid @s it 1s, they like it. There ts a “Hurray!” “Good boy, Charlie!” Now, the problem ts, how am I going to get out of this? The police are there pushing and shoving peo- Dle aside to make way, but they are outnumbered. Then ‘as we ap- Proach the tide comes in toward the gates of the hotel, They have been kept locked to prevent the crowd from demolishing the build- ing. I can see one intrepid motion Picture camera fan at the doar as the crowd starts to swarm. He be- gins to edge in and starts grind- \ng his camera frantically as he is Bfted into the whir.pool of hu- manity. But he keeps turning end his camera and himeelf are gradually turned up to the sky fnd his lens is registering nothing but clouds as he goes down turn- ing, the most honorable fall a cuin- ?ra. man can have, to go ‘down grinding. I wonder if he really got &ny pictures, FINDS REFUGE IN THE HOTEL. In some way my body has been pushed, carried, lifted and project- ed into the hotel. 1 can assure you that through no action of mine was this accomplished. 1 am immeai- ately. introduced to some English nobleman. The air is electric. 1 Zeel now I am free, Everybody 1s #miling. Everybody .is_ interested. 1 ain shown to a suite of rooms, I like the hotel lobby. It is grand. I am raced to my room. There are bouquets of flowers. The manager presents himself, Everything has been spread to make my stay as happy as possible, The crowd outside is cheering. What is the thing to do? 1 bad better go to the window. I raise my hands again, I pantomime— shake hands with myself, throw them kisses, I see a bouquet of roses in the room. I grab it and start tossing the flowers into the crowd, There is a mad serimble for the souvenirs. In a moment the chief of police burst into my room. “Please Mr. Chaplin, it is very fine, but don’t throw anyt! ng, you will cause an accident, They’ will crushed and killed. Anything ut that, don't throw anything, It Charliechaplins own story ef his STARTS A “RIQT” Escapes Luncheon Crowd Hops Into a Taxi and Seas Same Beggar Under Same * Old Bridge. you don’t mind, kindly refrain from throwing anything.” Excitedly he repeated his message over and over again The rest of my friends arrive all bru:sed and cut up. ow that the excitement has died down, what » we going to do? For no reason a’ all we order a meal. Nobody hungry: 1 want to get out .again. Wish I could. I feel that everybody ought to leave immediately. 1 want to be alone. 1 want to get out and escape from all crowds. | want to get over London, over to Kennington, all by myself. { want to see some familiar sights, Here baskets of fruit keep pouring in, fresh bouquets, presents, trays full of cards, some. of them titles, some well-known names—all paying their respects. Now [ am muddled. I don’t know what to do first. There is too much waiting. I have too much-of a choice. Newspaper men are outside, vis- itors are outside, I tell Carl ‘to get them to put it orf until to-mor- row. He tells them that I am tired, need a rest, for them to call to-morrow and they will be given an interview. The bishop-of som his compliments, H when I arrive. I he is saying. 1 sthing presents 3 in the room ar what y yes, I shall be delighted. We sit dewn to lunch. What a crowd there is eating with m not sulte sure 1 know yone is maxing plans for This irritates me. I make a nse at lunch, [ whisper to You explain everything to them—tell them that 1 am going out immediately after ‘unch.”” I look out the window. The crowds are still ther What a problem. How 1 going to get out without bein, gnized? atl I openly suggest gvuing out, so I can get away? I atte disappoint. ing them. But I must go out.
